Help for a friend moving here
Post Body

Hey guys. I have a friend from Hong Kong moving to Canada and he’s found himself a condo but the owner / landlord is demanding an entire year or rent to be sent to him before he even arrives in Canada. Is this standard practice ? I’ve never heard of anything like that. My friend claims his agent said it’s normal because he’s a foreigner with no credit and so on? Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE/Edit

Province is Ontario, he was able to get his sister who lives locally to pay first and last months rent to ensure the place is his , but still has to pay full year
